Dear colleagues,
The 54th congress of the Union Internationale des Avocats will be held in Istanbul between 30 October-3 November 2010. On behalf of the Istanbul Bar Association, I would like to express the pleasure we take in hosting such a great event which unites the members of the world’s legal profession.
The congress will be held in Istanbul, which holds a privileged position among the world metropolises in terms of its geographical location, natural beauty and history dating back to ancient times. Istanbul, which has long been the capital of empires, also holds a very remarkable place in the history of law. Corpus Juris Civilis, the foundation of laws, which had considerable effect on the development of Roman Law and influenced the whole of continental Europe, was compiled and practiced in this very city 1500 years ago. Along with its history, the young and dynamic population of the city provides a creative energy that makes Istanbul one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
The year 2010 will be crucial for Istanbul, since the city has been chosen as the European Capital of Culture for the year 2010 by the European Parliament with the approval of the Council of Ministers of Culture of the European Union. The title “European Capital of Culture” is granted either to EU member countries or cities in EU candidate countries that contribute to Europe and add value to its culture. This contribution of the European Capitals of Culture also serves to enrich the culture of the world. Owing to all these aspects, Istanbul is becoming day by day a focal point and a center of culture and art, not only for its own residents but also for the whole world.
As the Organizing Committee of the congress, we shall do our best to create the necessary conditions to allow you to express your opinions freely and get involved in sophisticated discussions. Excursions and social programs will also be organized to introduce our guests to the ancient and modern wonders of fabulous Istanbul.
The congress will be brought to reality with the support of the Istanbul Bar Association, which was founded in 1878 and is one of the biggest Bar Associations in the world with over 25,000 registered lawyers. We are thankful in particular to Mr. Muammer Aydin, the President of the stanbul Bar Association, for the close cooperation and the support he has provided us in organizing this congress.
We are more than pleased to take this opportunity to invite you to the 54th UIA congress in Istanbul, truly one of the wonders of the world.
We look forward to seeing you all in Istanbul in 2010!
Dr.Hakan ONCEL, President of 54th congress
